Somehow, the margins got whacky and now there's an orphaned headline where the links are supposed to be and the links are way down at the bottom of the page, and things just don't line up the way they're supposed to, making it hard to read and navigate through.
Specifics:
1. It's only on the front page - if you click on any of the archived pages (by month) they're fine, if you click on "older posts" down at the bottom those pages are fine too.
2. I haven't changed my template but I did start using Safari instead of IE on some of my updates and that seems suspicious.
Any ideas how to fix this?

Everything looks okay to me under Firefox.
Typical problem using different browsers. I'd stay with Firefox. Probably Google's Chrome is OK and faster than Firefox too.

It's supposed to look like this: All the blog posts and photos in the white part; slide show, profile, and links in the grey part... nice and tidy (this is page 2 and hasn't been corrupted).
But here's the phantom headline that belongs to a post half way down the page: (you're right, it's all correct in Firefox... wtf?)
And here's where the posts and photos don't obey the margins:
And my sidebar is way down at the bottom:
I tried editing the posts that I originally wrote from Safari into an editing window in IE but that didn't help. Do you think if I copy the code and delete the post and repost it'll be fixed?

A lot of these web editors add their own junk (and interpretation). IE (before 8) has a lot of non-standard code. Of course IE has so much of the market, that everybody does their pages to look right in IE, which at times looks weird in other standards-based browsers like FF. Don't have much experience with Safari (as I haven't work on Macs for a while). I would delete everything and upload again.

Looks good in FF and my Safari (4.0.3)
Perhaps your cache has a croupted style sheet it keeps reading?
Can you clear everything and check again?

It looks fine to me in Firefox as well.
Can you try Firefox on a different computer?
Just tried it in IE and found it as you describe, Scott.
